Proposed Project
Mandatory Guidelines for Federal Workplace Drug Testing Program and
Associated Forms--Extension of OMB approval will be requested for the
Federal Custody and Control Form for Federal agency and federally
regulated drug testing programs which must comply with the HHS
Mandatory Guidelines, for the application and inspection forms for the
National Laboratory Certification Program (NLCP), and for the reporting
and recordkeeping language in the Guidelines. The Federal Custody and
Control Form is used by all Federal agencies and employers regulated by
the
[[Page 4548]]
Department of Transportation to document the collection and chain of
custody of urine specimens at the collection site, for laboratories to
report results, and for Medical Review Officers to make a
determination. No changes are proposed to this form. Prior to an
inspection, a laboratory is required to submit specific information
regarding its laboratory procedures to allow inspectors to become
familiar with a laboratory's procedures before arriving at the
laboratory. The annual total burden estimates for the custody and
control form, the NLCP application, the NLCP inspection checklist, and
NLCP recordkeeping requirements is 1,517,935 hours, as shown below:
